Article Abstract

Microwave generation and modulation over the V- and W-bands are investigated using a semiconductor laser subject to both comb-like optical injection and direct modulation. The former not only excites period-one (P1) nonlinear dynamics for tunable microwave generation but also improves the stability and purity of such generated microwaves. The latter upconverts data onto the generated microwaves by superimposing the data effectively only onto the lower oscillation sideband of the P1 dynamics, which prevents the data from dispersion-induced degradation over fiber distribution. As a result, microwaves that are continuously tunable from 40 to 110 GHz with a 3-dB linewidth of less than 1 Hz and with phase noise better than -95/ at 10-kHz offset are generated. A bit-error ratio better than the forward error correction limit, 3.8×10, is achieved for 12-Gb/s 16-quadrature amplitude modulation data after 25-km fiber distribution.

Background: Although traditionally reserved for unresectable lesions, recent studies have provided evidence that in selected patients, microwave ablation (MWA) may provide similar oncologic outcomes compared to liver resection (LR). This study aimed to compare oncologic outcomes of patients with solitary small (<3 cm) colorectal liver metastasis (CRLM) undergoing LR vs laparoscopic MWA.

Study Design: This retrospective study included patients with a solitary CRLM <3cm treated with LR or MWA in three centers over 25-years.

Drying is a critical unit operation in food processing, essential for extending shelf life, ensuring microbial safety, and preserving the nutritional and sensory attributes of food products. However, conventional convective drying techniques are often energy-intensive and lead to undesirable changes such as texture degradation, loss of bioactive compounds, and reduced product quality, thereby raising concerns regarding their sustainability and efficiency. In response, recent advancements have focused on the development of innovative drying technologies that offer energy-efficient, rapid, and quality-preserving alternatives.

Objective: To develop a deep learning method for fast and accurate prediction of Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) distributions in the human head to support real-time hyperthermia treatment planning (HTP) of brain cancer patients.

Approach: We propose an encoder-decoder neural network with cross-attention blocks to predict SAR maps from brain electrical properties, tumor 3D isocenter coordinates and microwave antenna phase settings. A dataset of 201 simulations was generated using finite-element modeling by varying tissue properties, tumor positions, and antenna phases within a human head model equipped with a three-ring phased-array applicator.

This study introduces microwave-assisted, Fe(III)-catalyzed ring-opening annulations of isoxazoles, enabling the rapid and selective synthesis of 1,4-diacyl pyrroles and substituted pyridines. By leveraging microwave irradiation and transition metal catalysis, this approach enhances the reaction efficiency, reduces reaction times, and promotes high regioselectivity under mild conditions. Under thermal conditions, the Ru(II) catalyst led to the synthesis of nicotinamide derivatives.
